I don't know what the hell I was on about before and I take it back. Look, I get that they were trying to "amp up" the horror aspect after WS's 15-rated version (which I DO think is ace), but the amping up was just in pure bad taste. Calling the main bloke Dallas wasn't a nod - it was just daft, they may as well have had the soldier as "Ripley."The best thing about it was the Yutani tie in at the end - that was neat, considering AvP focused on Weyland. But no - it was horrible. I must listen again the the commentary. There's a part of me that's annoyed because I keep thinking what SiL and SM could have done if Fox had thrown a few million dollars at them and said "go make a movie" (Apologies to the the other writers and uberNerds out there - SIL and SM sprang to my mind first is all)They're more than qualified than the Brothers Strausse who had zero MOVIE making experience beforehand (I think it was a trend, wasn't it - get a "hot" advert director and give him a franchise).So yes - opinion revised. It was bollocks with some (albeit few) redeeming features.You've seen the light

Quote from: Kaltes on Aug 26, 2016, 04:37:43 PMI don't even remember the score...save for maybe the theme that places when we're introduced to Wolf.

Quote from: Sabres21768 on Sep 27, 2016, 10:18:00 PMJust watched AvPR blue ray on my new 4k TV. I can tell you that it has made all the difference. It's no longer so dark and I can actually see the movie. It's really amazing.
